quit bitching. all this time i just figured you was always wrong because you’re a dumbass, now i find out its your internet that stupid too.
He was the last QB in the NFL to wear a number that wasn't either a single digit or that started with 1.
John Hadl wore #21 for nearly his entire NFL career. He was the last regular starting quarterback to wear a uniform number greater than #19 before the NFL adopted a rigid uniform numbering system in 1973.
You may be right. I had forgotten about Flutie. I should have phased it as the last staring QB. But Flutie did start 66 games in the NFL over a period of time. I don't know if he wore #22 all that time though. I was looking for John Hadl. You got the answer I was looking for but now there may be a flag on the play. Upon further review, we will have to trust the wisdom and integrity of Roger Goodell to decide.
Well if the Duck is right and the system changed in '73 that would exclude Doug from wearing 22 so I think Duck is the winner.
I know he wore 22 in college and it feels like I remember him wearing it with New England. NO. I checked. He wore #2 with the Pats.
